Tips when choosing car tires

When the tires are worn out, replacing them with new ones is an unavoidable problem for every car owner. So when replacing tires, do I have to replace them with original tires? FAW maintenance technicians said that automobile manufacturers generally identify multiple tire companies as their own suppliers. Therefore, while giving priority to replacing original tires, car owners can also replace tires of other brands according to their own needs.

The tire's pattern, width, flatness ratio, etc. are all important indicators that determine tire performance.In order to improve vehicle traction and handling performance, you can replace it with sports tires; in order to improve ride comfort, you can replace it with special touring tires.

It is worth reminding that if you want to improve the vehicle's grip, the tires you replace will have poorer performance in terms of wear resistance and noise; and wear-resistant tires will provide weaker traction for the vehicle; high-profile tires High-efficiency tires feel comfortable, but the road feel will be poor, and the vehicle's turning lateral resistance will be poor.

When choosing tires, be sure to check whether the markings on the side of the tires are clear and complete. If there are traces of smearing or carvings, the car owner will raise a question mark.

● Tire inflation should be accurate

Some car owners use their experience to judge whether the tire pressure is sufficient based on the tire's sinkage, contact area, etc.In fact, this is unscientific. Nowadays, there are endless types of tires. Some tires still maintain a large contact area with the ground when fully inflated. Therefore, the air pressure gauge is an essential tool to truly and objectively reflect the tire pressure when inflating.

●Prevent abnormal tire wear

Wear is normal for tires, but sometimes it can be caused by improper use by car owners or inaccurate tire positioning. These are abnormal and require car owners to be vigilant. Excessive wear on both sides of the tire may be caused by the large contact area between the tire and the ground. It is most likely caused by the tires being under-inflated for a long time or the vehicle being overloaded.Irregular tire wear may be due to poor tire balance. When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, it is caused by excessive stress on individual parts of the tire. If the car owner feels that the vehicle vibrates when driving in a certain direction at a certain speed while driving, he or she should be alert to wheel balance problems and check early to prevent abnormal wear and tear.
